Walking to the back garden, the leading maid arranged for Shi Qingluo and Xi Rong to sit in front.

When the other ladies and ladies came in and saw it, they were all stunned again.

The location of the flower-viewing banquet is still very particular. The closer it is to the main seat, the more it means that the person's status is not simple, or that the person is highly valued by the host.

Xi Rong sat in front, and no one had any objections.

But a county magistrate's wife was sitting in front, which made it difficult for people to see through.

But no matter what they thought, no one raised any questions.

King Jin was like a local emperor in Northern Xinjiang, and the more favored concubines were almost equal to the more favored concubines in the harem.

So no one would be stupid enough to offend Concubine Hua by questioning her.

After about an hour of burning incense, a woman dressed luxuriously came in.

The ladies and ladies present all stood up and greeted with a smile, "I've seen the concubine Hua!"

Shi Qingluo and Xi Rong also stood up to greet the crowd.

Concubine Hua smiled and asked everyone to sit down. When passing by some ladies, she would stop and say a few words.

When Shi Qingluo saw that Concubine Hua's appearance was indeed 67% similar to that of the Queen.

It's just that the two of them give people completely different feelings.

The queen gives people a feeling of grace, luxury and dignity.

The concubine Hua Fangfei is bright and graceful, a bit like Wang Xifeng in The Red Mansion.

Seeing Concubine Hua mingling with all the ladies, Shi Qingluo felt that King Jin's promotion of her was not only because he wanted to irritate the empress and prince in the capital, but also because of Concubine Hua's communication skills.

After all, lady diplomacy is actually quite important.

Concubine Hua walked up from behind and stopped where Shi Qingluo and the two were.

She looked at Xi Rong with a smile on her face, "Master Hou, it's so wonderful that you can come to my flower viewing party today!"

It was the first time for Xi Rong to meet Concubine Hua, and because of Shi Qingluo's reminder before she came, she didn't lose her composure.

She grew up in the palace, and the queen was very kind to her, almost treating her like a daughter.

So facing the concubine who looked like a queen, she felt a little uncomfortable.

He also secretly cursed King Jin for not being a good man.

She smiled lightly and said, "Concubine Hua is so polite."

Concubine Hua Clan didn't care about Xi Rong's attitude. She always knew that she looked like a queen, and Xi Rong was raised by the Queen Mother and the Queen.

It's normal to feel uncomfortable when you see her.

So she just wanted to be polite and treat Xi Rong like a landlord.

After all, her target is not Xi Rong.

Concubine Hua Clan looked at Shi Qingluo and was surprised.

Didn't it mean that Shi Qingluo was a village woman?

His appearance and temperament are nothing like him. He grew up next to Zhennanhou in the palace. Not only was he not put down, he actually stood out.

She smiled and said, "This must be Mrs. Shi."

Shi Qingluo smiled, "I am."

Concubine Hua Fang reached out and took Shi Qingluo's hand affectionately, "I heard that Mrs. Shi donated high-yielding seeds, made so many good things, and had an old fairy master, so I thought she must be a fairy-like figure.

"

"It turned out to be true today. As soon as I saw you, I felt close to you and liked you."

Shi Qingluo discovered that Concubine Hua was not only very good at socializing, but she could also lower her figure to win over people.

It's not offensive at all, after all, who doesn't like to hear nice words.

Of course, Shi Qingluo did not relax his vigilance.

She smiled and said: "Hua Fangfei is so complimentary."

Concubine Hua chuckled and said, "You can afford it."

Shi Qingluo thought to herself that she was indeed King Jin's woman. King Jin also said the same thing that day.

She smiled and didn't answer.

Concubine Hua side chatted with Shi Qingluo cordially for a few words, then let go of her hand and sat down on the main seat.

Now everyone knows Shi Qingluo's identity.

It turns out that she is not only the wife of the county magistrate, but also the village woman who donated the seeds.

However, she certainly didn't look like a village woman, and those who didn't know thought she was a lady from a noble family.

Smart people also know why Hua Fangfei is so close and polite to Shi Qingluo. After all, I heard that this man is the apprentice of some old god and has many ways to make money in his mind.

It seems that he is the one King Jin wants to win over.

No wonder they felt that this flower viewing party was a bit inexplicable. Why did the concubine Hua Fang even post the posts of the wives of the magistrates of various counties?

It turned out that he was here for Shi Qingluo.

I also had different thoughts about Shi Qingluo. Although I still looked down upon her identity, I would not offend her.

Some ladies and ladies who didn't know the twists and turns involved, now despised Shi Qingluo's identity and envied her for falling in the eyes of the concubine Hua Fang at once.

Especially for the other county magistrate's wives who were participating in such a flower viewing party for the first time, the sour water kept rising.

Everyone drank tea first, and then Concubine Hua stood up and asked everyone to go enjoy the flowers together.

She herself even walked up to Shi Qingluo and started chatting.

At the beginning, Shi Qingluo and Xi Rong were introduced to Beicheng and some of its customs and habits.

From time to time, I ask about Beijing and Nanxi County.

She is good at chatting and finds topics that make people feel involved.

While chatting, Concubine Hua smiled at Shi Qingluo and said, "I've always heard that you have a lot of ideas. I also want to make some money recently. Can you help me with some ideas?"

Shi Qingluo sighed again, no wonder Concubine Hua was able to win the favor of King Jin, because she completely followed King Jin's behavior.

Shi Qingluo did not refuse, but asked: "What does Concubine Hua want to do?"

Concubine Hua shook her head, "I don't know that either."

Shi Qingluo asked again: "Do you have any shop under your name now?"

Concubine Hua Fang smiled and said truthfully: "There is an embroidery workshop, a paper workshop, and a restaurant."

Her family background was not good and she was brought back from a small place by King Jin. She was penniless at the time.

These shops were opened by her through her own savings over the years.

The real housekeeper of the palace lies in the hands of the princess. Although she is favored and enjoys the limelight, she is almost always responsible for the palace's entertainment, but because of this, the expenses are very high, and the income from her own shop is often used.

The prince asked her to test Shi Qingluo as soon as they met, which was exactly what she wanted.

If Shi Qingluo could really help her come up with some money-making ideas, she would certainly be happy.

Her own identity was that of a girl from a small businessman's family, and she had met all kinds of people around King Jin over the years, so she did not look down upon Shi Qingluo because of her identity as a village woman.

On the contrary, because the prince attaches great importance to him, she will also attach great importance to him.

Shi Qingluo smiled and said, "I'm not good at embroidery, but I do have a recipe for improving paper, as well as some recipe recipes, which may be able to help Concubine Hua."

Papermaking has never been used before, and it has not been opened into workshops to make and sell on a large scale, because it would damage the interests of those big paper-making families.

Her young husband was a scholar before, but now he is just a county magistrate. His status has not reached a certain level. The hatred has been too great, and he will be targeted by a group of aristocratic families, and it is easy for him to capsize.

She had thought about how to show her favor to King Jin before, and after much deliberation she decided to take the lead in improving papermaking.

When King Jin reduces the cost of paper, the selling price will naturally drop as well.

When the time comes, the price of paper will impact the entire Liang Dynasty, affecting the interests of the aristocratic families behind those expensive papers. King Jin will be in the spotlight to draw the hatred of those aristocratic families.

King Jin would naturally not care about being targeted for the sake of money, and might even fight back. This is probably what the emperor would be happy to see.
